Did you know that 20-50% of women of childbearing age have uterine fibroids?

Uterine fibroids are generally benign (non-cancerous) tumors that are made from nodules of smooth muscle cells and fibrous connective tissue, hence the name “fibroid tumor”.  They are most commonly found in or on the uterus of women in their 20''s, 30''s and 40''s.  Medically, fibroids are also referred to as myomas or leiomyomas, and are considered to be a woman''s fibrosis condition that is usually associated with estrogen dominance.

These are known as pendunculated fibroids. 

While many women do not experience any problems, symptoms can be severe enough to require treatment, and are the most common indication for surgery, including hysterectomy, myomectomy, and uterine fibroid embolization.
